LaLiga continues to be played despite the effects of DANA and Iborra explodes: “When we can give a lesson in humanity, we don’t give it”

In an interview granted last night to The Stringer of the SER Chainthe 36-year-old veteran footballer was very critical, ensuring that the decision to continue the competition “in the end shows you that we are merchandise”: “It should be a question for those who decide to play it and give us their reasons. I think it is difficult to go to a football stadium to cheer, to sing a goal or to show feelings of joy when a few kilometers away there are people who are having a bad time and who need help. It’s difficult to go to a football game to celebrate… to celebrate what? What can be celebrated when there is so much misfortune? In the end it shows you that we are merchandise in the world of sports. We are no more. When moments like this come and we can give a lesson in humanity, we don’t give it. It’s the world we live in. “We can decide if we follow him or if we enter another reality that I think is more human,”

Iborra also narrated what he saw when he went to help his countrymen and downplayed the fact that he had come to lend a hand: «The situation is catastrophic, unless we go to help, we can all do something, even if it is minimal.. Ours need it and we have to be with them. That footballers or clubs are going to lend a hand should not be something extraordinary or news. In the end we are people, with feelings and many of us have affected family or missing friends.

«Yesterday I was able to get closer and saw a lot of chaospeople coming and going trying to help and get everything they could. By car it was difficult so they walked, people have done everything possible to get there. It’s hard to see certain things but In the end you feel proud of society because at times like this the colors, the teams or the political parties don’t matter.. People bring out their human side and you feel proud of the person next to you, you know that in situations like this they will be there and I think that is the most important thing in society,” he shared before commenting that “My partner and I had a debate about whether to go with our children or not, but we thought it could be a life lesson “For them to see the reality of what they can find in a better life instead of staying at home playing.”

Levante, a club in which Iborra is captain after having arrived this summer from Olympiacos, is collaborating in trying to help with the effects of DANA and has set up its stadium as a collection point for objects and food that may be useful in the most affected areas of the province. Sevilla FC, a club in which Vicente Iborra was for several seasons, playing 173 official matches and winning three Europa Leagues, has also done its part by sending help from Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán himself.
